Starting a new Friday trend just to give some bathroom reading material. If you haven’t already checked it out, feel free to head over and look at our North Dakota Preview.
This is meant to address things that are being talked about in regard to Nebraska football, as well as around college football. Just because I post them doesn’t mean I believe them, just use them as a talking point at your water cooler.
Nebraska thoughts:
While I haven’t written Frost off yet, at what point in the season will he start to assert himself more if his job is on the line? What I mean is, if you had a 4million dollar per year job and you were on the ropes fighting for it, would you just sit back and let Whipple run the offense and hope he succeeded? I don’t think offense was our problem this past Saturday, but I also couldn’t just sit there and be “CEO” and watch things come crashing down. I would want my hand in things more than they were to get us to that point.
I’ll take any winner here in Lincoln, but the Urban Meyer thing before September even was here really frustrates me.
